No one from Shibecha has a public profile here yet. Create yours and people nearby will be able to find you.
Everyone in Shibecha knows the local café, which is exactly why it works for a first date: public, easy to find, no pressure. A walk around town can come after.
Within 50 km of Shibecha there are 6 towns and cities — Kushiro, Nakashibetsu and Akkeshi among them — with more than 220,000 residents in all. In the app you choose the distance yourself: from 10 km to 500 km, or “Any distance”.
Yes. YADate is a free online dating site, in Shibecha and everywhere else: profiles, search filters, likes, messages, voice messages and gifts cost nothing, and there is no premium plan. Daily caps exist only to stop spam: up to 40 new conversations a day, for example.
YADate never creates fake profiles or writes on behalf of people who don't exist. A moderator checks every photo before it appears, every member confirms an email address, and any profile can be reported. Anyone who asks for money or pushes you to move to another app straight away is worth reporting.
Yes. Pick any other city in the filters, at home or abroad, and YADate shows the people there.
